The only Naim I still own is a pair of en rosewood SBL’s and a Nat01 with Ryan sound labs cards in it. Previously had 52/super cap and 135’s, aro Armageddon etc.
I like shoebox Naim, and have owned two NAT01s (at different times), and a Nait 2 - the NAT01/Nait 2 combination is very good, with a full rich sound, but I sold it recently as I was mainly listening to radio using my laptop, not via FM.
I bought a DAC V-1 and NAP100 a few months ago, and have recently added a Unitiserve - it's a modern shoebox stack, and everything seems to work well together. I think the NAP100 is excellent, and probably quite a bit better than the Nait 2, to be frank. The Unitiserve isn't a streamer, but I can control it from my phone and laptop, and it sounds very good. Obviously all of this equipment has been superseded, but I think it still represents good value for money, and is a lot less expensive secondhand! I'd like to try a Muso, partly as a second system, and partly to get better sound from the TV. I've been quite impressed with some of the less expensive bluetooth speakers, but have not yet heard the Naim Muso.
You should be able to get a unitiserve for peanuts it’s basically a small PC caseI love the simplicity of this system. If only Naim did a shoebox streamer or mini PC in a shoebox.
Try them activeNBLs here, best speaker ever made, ever.
Give me some amps and I willTry them active
And also as long as I do not go pfffft, I'll keep running it, too.Franz,
And as long as the transport and chip don’t go pffffft, I’ll keep running it, too.

Let's hope this does not mutate into another Naim bashing thread.
I have so many favorites - CD3, CDS1, CDS2, CDS3, IBLs, DBLs, 52, Nait 3, Nait 2, ARO. I still own and use some of these components although I no longer am a fan of their products post-JV. In fact, it has just occurred to me that I've used most of the olive-era products.
More or less where I've got to now, and very enjoyable. What's your vinyl setup?Still use these:
Naim nac122x
Naim nap150x
Naim flatcap 2x
Naim cd5x
Naim stageline s
Great sound and solid build... I have other gear but these will be here forever, just to have the Naim sound at hand
Supernait 2 - it really is a great integrated. It was the first Naim I bought, new, along with a CDX2. I'm still using it, and with everything I've changed, it's kept up.
